Meet Your Groomer: Raelynn [ray-lin] Howard - I am a dedicated professional in the world of dog grooming, driven by my passion for forging lasting connections with my clients and their beloved pets. My journey as a dog groomer revolves around creating a secure and enjoyable experience for every animal in my care while constantly seeking innovation in techniques, tools, and knowledge.
Prioritizing Safety: Above all else, safety is paramount in my approach to grooming. I firmly believe that a calm, comfortable, and cooperative grooming experience starts with a foundation of trust and security. I am committed to adhering to the highest standards of safety, ensuring that every furry client feels at ease during their grooming sessions.
To this end, I select only the safest and most dog-friendly products designed to protect their delicate skin and coat. My dedication extends to using eco-friendly products whenever possible, reducing our environmental impact as we pamper our furry friends. I understand the importance of minimizing our carbon footprint, even in the world of dog grooming.
Lifelong Learning: My academic pursuits revolve around a single, unwavering goal – to equip myself with the knowledge and resources necessary to advocate for a brighter future in animal welfare. I am a perpetual student, continuously seeking out the latest insights, techniques, and tools that enhance the well-being of our animal companions.
By staying at the forefront of grooming trends and behavior insights, I ensure that every grooming session is not only safe but also enjoyable for the dogs. My commitment to learning doesn't just enrich my own skills; it also enriches the lives of the pets I care for.
Advocating for Progressive Animal Welfare Reform: Beyond the grooming table, I am a dedicated advocate for progressive animal welfare reform. I firmly believe that all animals, regardless of their species, deserve compassion and protection. To this end, I actively engage in networking and collaborative efforts aimed at creating a better environment for animals.
Through volunteering with local rescues and supporting organizations dedicated to animal welfare, I contribute to meaningful change in our community. My advocacy extends to the promotion of responsible pet ownership and the adoption of shelter animals. Together, we can create a world where every animal receives the love, care, and respect they deserve.
In conclusion, I am not just a dog groomer; I am a devoted advocate for the safety, well-being, and welfare of animals. My commitment to safe grooming practices, lifelong learning, and progressive advocacy sets me apart in the industry, making me the ideal choice for those seeking a trustworthy and compassionate partner in the care of their furry family members.

Just like humans catch the occasional sniffle when hanging out in crowded places, our four-legged pals can also encounter some common concerns when they're mingling with their fellow doggie pals at the salon or any other furry-friendly spot. But don't worry, we've got your pup's back!
All pets are required to be current on rabies and distemper vaccinations to reserve appointments.
🐾 Uninvited Flea Party: Fleas might think your pup's fur is the coolest hangout spot, but we're not giving them a VIP pass! Although our grooming salon follows top-notch cleanliness protocols, these little critters can be quite the sneaky stowaways. Regular flea prevention is the key to keeping them off the guest list.
🐾 Ear's Looking at You, Kid: Those floppy, perky, or pointy ears? Adorable, yes, but they can also be a cozy hideout for moisture or dirt. Ear infections might try to gatecrash the fun, so regular ear cleaning is a great way to keep them from dampening the mood. In the case of a suspected infection, we reserve the right to recommend ears to be plucked and cleaned by their veterinarian.
🐾 Skin Shenanigans: Sometimes, a pup's skin can get a bit sensitive, and irritation might show up unexpectedly. We're vigilant about using gentle products, but it's good to keep an eye out for any signs of itchiness or redness after a grooming session.
As your pet’s groomer, I am here not just to make your fur baby look fabulous, but also to ensure their comfort and health while they enjoy their spa day. If you ever notice anything out of the ordinary after a visit, don't hesitate to reach out to your vet – they're the real experts in tail-wagging health! While we can't predict every twist and turn, rest assured that we are doing everything we can to keep tails wagging and fur fluffing in the healthiest way possible. Your pup's safety and happiness are always our top priorities.

I had such a pleasant experience here. I’ve been to several dog groomers that say the specialize in doodles to then pick up my dog scalped and uneven! I was so disappointed every time. And to finally have such amazing communication, understanding of what I want and a photo of my dog! This girl is amazing. I’ve never seen my dogs hair looks so good!
We’ve been going to Raelynn for 2 years and have had nothing but an excellent, 5 star experience. She loves our boys and keeps them looking dapper. We are so grateful for her skill, attention to detail and kindness to our boys.
